"The U.S. captured Maduro, Venezuela's president, and his wife in a staggering nighttime military operation Saturday, charging the ousted leader with drug and weapons offenses. Before long, social media was flush with images that appeared to show Maduro wearing an ORIGIN hoodie in the shade "Patriot Blue," surrounded by Drug Enforcement Administration agents. In one photo, Maduro appears to be giving the camera a double thumbs up."
"I had to start putting the pieces together: Why is this dude wearing an Origin Patriot Blue hoodie? Pete Roberts, the company's founder and CEO, said in a video Sunday. "And the irony in this is that this wave, this logo here on the shirt Maduro is wearing, this is the 'Wave of Freedom.'" Farmington-based ORIGIN began as a way to help revitalize a struggling New England manufacturing community, he explained, and its "Wave of Freedom" logo represents a commitment to building back."
""Probably a DEA agent slipped this hoodie on him and said, 'You're going to feel the fabric of freedom on American soil,'" he quipped. "That's my assumption, and I'm taking the liberty to assume.""
